Graham,

We have thought about this. The problem is that because we ping everything asynchronously and ping responses are usually very quick the overhead of processing the in bound packets may be much more than the ping time itself. This is not the case with the normal command line ping because it pings only one device serially. Of course we might try implementing it for the case where ping times are very slow (so that the time to respond is much greater then our time to process). Do you guys think this a common failure mode? Also tracking ping response times will slow down zenping considerably. Its nice to beable to ping sweep large number of devices quickly. :)

I have added a couple of external devices to my zenoss installation
with no discovery protocol just to get notifications if pings fail and
this works well.

I would like to be able to graph the ping response times, has anyone
done this sort of thing before?
